Yes it was! It was amazing, the staff were helpful and very friendly. Also, they give you a briefing before the flight they also have FSX with a yoke and throttle quadrants for you to go on if it’s busy!

If you are having trouble using google then suggest that you retype the question or be more specific.

for example " British Airways Flight Simulator Age Restriction " should find your answer with a little bit of work.

No age usually. If you can pay for it you can fly it.

This isn’t the case for the BA simulators which the OP is asking about.

Oh ok. Sorry. Airlines usually don’t let the public use there sims, only for pilot training. As sims are million dollar piece of equipment a large airline like BA has no space to fit in a member of the general public as BA pilots and trainees need to train with the little sims they have. @ATK

Clearly BA do have some very limited slots available to the public though. You’ll note only certain simulators are available to the public - the A320, A380, and 787 are not available.

I’m pretty sure that BA is 14+, I remember as I couldn’t go into them when I was thirteen, but I can now. :D

Yes, as noted above BA has a minimum age of 14. This is clearly shown at the link I posted and the text which @David_Lockwood copied in to his post.

Other simulator operators may have different age limits and you should check with whomever you want to book.

I might to go in the a320

I wouldn’t if I were you. The Airbus is not as fun to fly.

I would recommend the 747 though.

However whatever you choose I am sure you will enjoy it @British-Airways!

I don’t have a choice unfortunately. But I’ll either be flying the a320 or the 747. It’s between those two.

Thank you very much! I hope one day you get to experience something amazing like this for your self @ATK! 😄

12 years of age in going next month

What? So you have to be 12 to fly in one from next month @Wren_Jago? That would be awesome!

No sorry it meant to say I’m going next month. It’s either twelve or fourteen but they seem pretty relaxed I’ve been at eleven
